IVOR2

size 5.7 MB

IVOR2 is microtonal subtractive synth for learning about sound synthesis and musical instrument intonation (microtuning and xenharmonics).

IVOR2 embodies a design philosophy of simplicity for microtonal music sound-design:

A knob-less design primarily featuring slider controls, which enables intuitive direct control with a computer mouse.
A dedicated control signal system mapped to the most important synthesis functions.
Settings are made by typing values into fields, dropdown lists, left-and-right arrows, switches and sliders.
Enables musicians to specify precise microtonal pitch-bend settings.
Features arbitrary microtonal oscillator transposition settings.
MIDI-CC modulation of harmonics enables dynamically playing harmonics of the fundamental pitch.
2 Oscillators with 22 Waveforms.
Microtonal, Cents-Based Oscillator Transposition.
Per-Oscillator Analog Pitch Drift Emulator.
Phase & Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) Range Sliders.
9 dedicated Modulation Generators (MOD-GEN), featuring an ADSR and Graphic Envelope Generator, and an LFO that can be switched to run at Audio-Rate, which are for modulating Phase (FM), Pulse-Width, XFM, Pitch, Filters and Amplitude (VCA).
MIDI-CC-to-Harmonics Modulation enables oscillators to dynamically sound harmonics of the fundamental pitch.
Oscillator Mixer for setting relative oscillator volumes, Cross-Fade Modulation (XFM) and Ring Modulator (RM).
Cross-Fade Modulation (XFM) Mode with six directional options for cross-fading between the two oscillators, including Sum (XFM bypass).
Pre-Filter Saturation Stage with 20 Saturation Types.
2 Independent Filters with Six Filter Types: LP4, LP2, HPF, BPF, BRF, APF.
1 and 2 Stage Filter Cascade.
Parallel and serial order routing.
Unipolar and Bipolar Filter Modulation Modes.
Full controller MIDI Pitch Microtuning with MTS (MIDI Tuning Standard).
MTS support for both Single Note and Bulk Dump: Loads MTS microtuning format files internally and receives MTS externally.
Patch (per-patch) and Global Microtuning (static microtuning for all patches).
Microtunings can be loaded from any directory on hard drives or storage devices connected to the PC.
Partials file loader for patch-level partial retuning of MOD-GEN Audio-Rate Oscillators.
Modulation Effects include Chorus and two Phaser types.
MIDI: 12 Note Polyphonic, Monophonic Legato Mode, Monophonic Portamento, Microtonal Pitch Bend, Vibrato.
Ensemble: Tone Filters, Stereo Ensemble.
Delay: Stereo Delay effect.
118 Factory Patches by Xen-Arts and Sevish.
148 MTS Microtunings.
91 Partials TXT Files for Audio-Rate Oscillator Modulation.
Instruction Manual.

Used to be good but everything by Xen Arts just stopped working on day a few years ago, in all DAWs. Weird.
They're all 32-bit anyway. There is better stuff now, like Microtone 5000 (also on this site)
